Add headless bundle support

This commit adds  support for `headless bundles` for the `index` bundle type.

So:

```toml
headless = true
```

In front matter means that

* It will have no `Permalink` and no rendered HTML in /public
* It will not be part of `.Site.RegularPages` etc.

But you can get it by:

* `.Site.GetPage ...`

The use cases are many:

* Shared media galleries
* Reusable page content "snippets"
* ...

Fixes #4311
